- This section covers a set of <dfn>region editing operations</dfn>
- that you are likely to use often while working on a session.
- Depending on your work habits (and experience of other
- <abbr title="Digital Audio Workstation">DAW</abbr>s) you will find
- some of these operations critical while others are used only rarely.
-</p>
-<p>
- You can carry out all of these operations from the keyboard (see
- <a href="/default-keyboard-bindings">Default Keyboard Shortcuts</a>
- for a list). Equivalent operations can be performed with the mouse
- in most cases.
-</p>

- You may want to review your understanding of
- <a href="/editing-and-arranging/edit-point">the edit point/range</a> and
- <a href="/editing-and-arranging/which-regions-are-affected">which regions will be affected by region operations</a>.
